Protecting the Rights of Pedestrians and Bicyclists
When a motor vehicle strikes someone on foot or riding a bike, the injuries tend to be severe: brain injuries, paralysis, severe fractures or even death. Those victims fortunate enough to survive their encounters with cars, trucks and buses often face long periods of hospitalization and recovery, which also means huge medical bills and significant losses of income.
At the law firm of Tooher Wocl & Leydon, LLC, we provide skilled representation on behalf of people and families who have been harmed by the negligent or reckless actions of other drivers. Our results have helped make us one of the most respected personal injury law firms in the state of Connecticut and a frequent choice for referrals from attorneys who know that we have the experience and resources needed to effectively handle even the most complex cases.

Stamford Bicycle Accident Attorneys ∙ Bridgeport Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
While not every bicycle or pedestrian accident is the result of negligence, the majority of these accidents are caused by drivers who are too distracted to drive with due care. In order to establish the facts indicating negligence in a motor vehicle accident, our attorneys work with lay witnesses, transportation engineers, accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals, economists and other experts as required to fully develop the evidence of liability and damages in a given case.

Our Commitment to Client Service
Our attorneys and professional staff are sensitive to the concerns and uncertainties that most people experience in the aftermath of serious accidents. We understand that accident victims need a law firm that knows how to listen, an attorney who can understand their problems, and honest professionals who will address their concerns in a prompt, responsive and sensitive manner. We also believe that clients have a right to be kept informed of the status of their cases and as involved in the legal process as they would like to be. This is the kind of service we provide our clients every day.
At Tooher Wocl & Leydon, the quality of our client service is reflected in the results we achieve. In two separate cases, we recovered $750,000 for each family of an elderly pedestrian killed at a crosswalk. In one of the cases, the elderly victim was working as a crossing guard when struck by a driver who had just suffered a seizure.
